The Migration Museum is a registered charity that explores how the movement of people to and from Britain across the ages has shaped who we are – as individuals, as communities, and as nations.
Our current home is in Lewisham Shopping Centre, South London, but you may have heard that we have just come to Leeds with our free pop up exhibition Heart of the Nation: Migration and the Making of the NHS.
Here’s a bit more information about the exhibit:
The National Health Service was created 75 years ago. Over the decades, it has faced huge pressures – never more so than today.
Yet the NHS and the millions of people who sustain it remain close to all our hearts. From the very beginning, people have come to Britain from all over the world to make this grand vision for a better society a reality. But their vital role has largely been ignored.
This national touring exhibition from the Migration Museum shines a light on the stories and experiences of people who have come to Britain to work in the NHS through photography, film, oral histories and an immersive experience that brings together singing and storytelling.
We are open Wednesdays to Sundays, 11am to 5.30pm (5pm on Sundays), until 18th February 2024.
Admission to the exhibition is free.
